Chapter 1180 He Can't Go to Real Madrid!

Ferguson has not appeared in the eyes of the media and fans for a long time.

The last time he appeared at the FIFA Awards Conference, but at that time he was the best coach award to accompany him, and when he made his debut again, he was a special guest and sat in the main stand of the Stadium of Light in Lisbon.

After the game is over, he will be the guest of honor, presenting the award to the best player in the final tonight.

But during the game, he was more appreciative of this peak duel.

As one of the world's top coaches in the past, especially after resigning from Manchester United, Ferguson's mentality has become more relaxed, and he has seen more things from this game. He also has a deeper understanding of the formations of the top marshals.

To some extent, this final represents the most advanced technical and tactical trend in European football.

Both were largely free of major mistakes, Simeone's problem was that Diego Simeone went off after only nine minutes, which must have been an unfortunate accident, proof that Simeone lost the bet but can't be blamed for that he.

Diego Costa is so important to Atletico Madrid that Simeone is willing to bet on him.

Ancelotti is mature and experienced, and is very shrewd and pragmatic. The entire formation is also impeccable, but there are some problems in the execution of the players, especially Casillas's attack error, which is really inappropriate.

This is a low-level mistake that should never appear on the stage of the Champions League final.

"Before I knew it, Iker Casillas was also thirty-three years old." Ferguson suddenly thought of this question, quite embarrassed.

Since retiring, his mentality has improved a lot, but there are more and more emotional things.

His wife told him it was called getting old.

"Yeah, since the last fracture and injury, his condition has declined sharply. Thirty-three years old should have been the golden age of a goalkeeper, but for a goalkeeper of his height, it is very terrible." UEFA President Platini is also very emotional.

Casillas can be said to represent a generation of goalkeepers in the history of the Champions League. He won the Champions League for Real Madrid in his debut, followed by two championships in three years, and then witnessed the decline of the Galacticos. A new round of peaks started in nine years. In the past decade or so, no goalkeeper in European football has been more representative than him.

In terms of strength, Buffon is definitely a well-deserved No. 1 in the world, but when it comes to honor, the Italian goalkeeper will inevitably be slightly inferior, especially in the Champions League and European Cup.

But this goalkeeper who represented an era finally showed signs of fatigue.

"The goal is that big. Tall goalkeepers have slender hands and feet and a wide range of control, but their reaction speed and physical flexibility, especially the explosive power of their legs, are unavoidably weak. Short goalkeepers have short hands and feet and a small range of control, but they can pass the reaction. Speed ​​and flexibility, especially the explosive power of the legs to make up for it."

If you watch the training of short goalkeepers carefully, you will definitely find that the explosive training of their legs is a must in every training session, because they rely on this to eat.

"The ball in the first half was indeed a mistake that shouldn't have happened, but if it was a young Casillas, he would definitely be able to catch it, but just now his consciousness is obvious, but his body can't keep up." Platini also said I am quite sorry.

This mistake will make Casillas' situation in Real Madrid even more embarrassing.

But this is professional football, cold and unforgiving.

As you get older, your reaction speed, body flexibility, and especially the explosive power of your legs will continue to decline. This is very terrible for short goalkeepers, because they will gradually find that their bodies cannot keep up with consciousness, but for tall ones As far as goalkeepers are concerned, they don't rely on this to make a living, so the peak period can last longer.

For example, goalkeepers such as Buffon, Van der Sar, and Petr Cech have always maintained a very good state, but once the short goalkeepers reach their age, it is basically difficult to maintain their peak performance and decline rapidly.

...

In the stadium, Real Madrid made a quick attack. David Silva tried to cut inside after getting the ball from the right, but was directly shoveled to the ground by Atletico Madrid players. It gave Real Madrid a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt. Not even a card.

Real Madrid were dissatisfied with this and put pressure on the referee, but they were not allowed.

This made Ferguson couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Simeone in front of the coach's bench, secretly amused in his heart.

"Fortunately, I'm not coaching now, so I don't have to worry about meeting him. Otherwise, I'd probably be mad at him." Ferguson laughed rather gloatingly.

The rules of football are there, as long as you don't break the rules, you can do anything on the pitch.

And Simeone's team is on the verge of fouling. What's even more rare is that his team has a very good grasp of the scale of fouls. Everyone is very calm and rational, and there will be no such hot-headed fouls.

This proves that they are a group of well-trained "hooligans".

There is a saying that goes well, hooligans are not to be feared, but they are cultured.

Simeone and his team are a group of cultured "hooligans".

Yang Yang personally took the free kick. He had already taken the free kick once. This time, the angle was still very tricky and the arc was well rounded. After bypassing the wall, he went straight to the upper left corner, but Courtois also reacted quickly, flying to save the ball with one hand.

This wonderful save won the applause of the audience, even Ferguson and Platini couldn't help applauding for him.

"This save is very skillful!" Ferguson sighed.

Platini also agrees very much. Yang Yang's free kick was very good and his level was very high, but he was saved by Courtois. "Among the tall goalkeepers, his reaction is also very fast. gone."

Ferguson nodded, but he couldn't help thinking of Casillas in his mind.

The 22-year-old Courtois reminded him of Casillas at the age of 22. In the knockout round of the Champions League that year, Casillas helped Real Madrid beat Ferguson at Old Trafford. Manchester United, the captain of Real Madrid at that time, also performed bravely, often making some amazing saves.

But now, Casillas is very old, but the new generation of Courtois and De Gea have performed well.

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, this is the ruthlessness of time.

"I heard that Barcelona want to buy him, and Real Madrid want to buy De Gea." Platini tried with a smile.

Even the president of UEFA can be gossipy sometimes.

Ferguson laughed, "Barcelona's biggest problem is that the offensive division of labor is not clear, the defense is too thin, and the goalkeeper is only part of it. Even if Courtois goes, it can't make up for it. As for De Gea...he can't To Real Madrid!"

Hearing Ferguson's categorical words, Platini was a little surprised, but soon realized that De Gea was introduced by Ferguson himself to Manchester United, and even after retiring, Ferguson still has a lot of advice in Manchester United.

Today's top goalkeepers in European football are hard to find. De Gea is the foundation of Manchester United's revival, and the current Red Devils are not short of money at all. What they lack is excellent players. As long as De Gea's contract renewal can be negotiated, everything will be fine not a problem.

...

Ferguson and Platini chatted without saying a word in the stands, mainly because after the start of the second half, although the tactics of the two teams have been slightly adjusted, Atletico Madrid retreated and Real Madrid pressed forward, and the scene was still stalemate.

The stalemate was stressful and exhausting for both sides of the game, but for spectators, it was a bit dull, so much so that Ferguson and Platini were talking to pass the time.

And everyone knows that as time goes by, the pressure on Real Madrid will increase.

But when the game time just jumped into 60 minutes, Real Madrid intercepted the ball near the center line. David Silva tried to take the ball forward again, but found that Yang Yang suddenly appeared on the left and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

The Spanish midfielder passed the ball without thinking, and Yang Yang turned his back to the attacking direction. After stopping the ball on the left side, he turned around and cut inward, immediately starting to accelerate.

Stopping and turning around, the whole movement is like flowing clouds and flowing water, very chic.

After turning around, Yang Yang immediately sped up and started. First, he circled Gabi who was defending him with his right foot, and then dunked the ball past Juanfran with his left foot, so that Atletico Madrid's right defender's interception failed.

After passing two players in a row, Yang Yang suddenly accelerated and rushed directly to Miranda.

Atletico Madrid's central defender rushed up quickly, trying to block Yang Yang, but Yang Yang made a continuous shaking feint, threw off Miranda, and was about to cut inside.

At this moment, everyone was taken aback, because Yang Yang cut in from the left and hit the goal with his right foot, which is his specialty.

Miranda, as a central defender with rich experience and outstanding strength at the same time, what doesn't he understand?

At the moment when Yang Yang swayed past him, he chose to foul almost without thinking, and directly reached Yang Yang's chest, grabbed his jersey, and pulled it hard.

Yang Yang lost his balance and fell sideways on the left side of Atletico Madrid's penalty area.

The referee Keppers quickly ran over, whistled for a foul, and showed Miranda a yellow card.

This made the Real Madrid players very dissatisfied, thinking that this was condoning Atletico Madrid's malicious foul.

"Sir, he has passed three people just now, and then we will play two against one. Whether it is a goal or an assist, we have an advantage, but they chose to foul. Is this just a yellow card?" Suarez Feel very annoyed.

He's ready to run.

But such annoyance is useless. The referee indicated that he was enforcing the law according to the rules, and it was reasonable to give a yellow card.

There were boos in the stadium, and everyone was obviously dissatisfied with the penalty this time.

Yang Yang didn't understand that Atletico Madrid had fully understood the referee's law enforcement standards, so they adopted such a tactic.

And this time the foul was 28 meters away from the goal, which was about the same position as David Silva's just now.

"How is it? Are you okay?" Suarez came over, grabbed Yang Yang's hand, and pulled him up.

"It's okay." Yang Yang patted the grass clippings on his body, but the white jersey was already stained.

He has been down many times tonight.

But when he looked at the goal and Courtois in front of the goal, Yang Yang's eyes flashed a stern look.
